Question
Answer
what is anatomy?   study of bodily structures and their relationships among the body parts. (the actual thing)  
🗑
what are the 3 types of anatomy?   1. gross/macroscopic-LARGE 2. microscopic-VERY SMALL 3. developmental  
🗑
what is physiology?   study of how living organisms preform their vital functions. (function)  
🗑
gross anatomy: surface   study of general form and superficial markings  
🗑
gross anatomy: regional   focuses on organization of specific areas of the body (ex. arm and leg)  
🗑
gross anatomy: systematic   study of the structure of organ systems or group or groups of organs that function together in a conditional manner  
🗑
gross anatomy: developmental   describes the changes that occur between conception and physical maturity  
🗑
gross anatomy: clinical   includes a number of subspecialties important in the clinical practice (pathological, radiographic, and surgical)  
🗑
microscopic anatomy: cytology   analysis of the internal structures of an individual cell; or the study of cells  
🗑
microscopic anatomy: histology   examination/study of tissues  
🗑
developmental anatomy   traces structural changes throughout life  
🗑
what is embryology?   study of structural changes and processes that occur during THE FIRST TWO MONTHS OF DEVELOPMENT  
🗑
physiology: cell   study or function of cells  
🗑
physiology: organ   study of the physiology of specific organs  
🗑
physiology: systematic   includes all aspects of the functioning of specific organ systems  
🗑
physiology: pathological   study of the effects of diseases on organ or organ system function  
🗑
principle of complementarity   anatomical structure that usually reflects the function. (FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION)  
🗑
levels of structural organization: chemical   atoms combine to form molecules  
🗑
levels of structural organization: cellular   molecules can interact to form various types of organelles, each with their own functions  
🗑
levels of structural organization: tissue   group of cells working together to preform one or more specific functions  
🗑
levels of structural organization: organ   made up of two or more tissues working in combination to preform several functions  
🗑
levels of structural organization: organ system   consists of different organs that interact and work closely together  
🗑
levels of structural organization: organismal   highest level of organization; made up of organ systems combined  
🗑
organ systems: integumentary   -largest system; covers the body - composed of hair, skin, nails, sweat and oil glands -protects deep tissues from injury and synthesizes vitamin D  
🗑
organ systems: skeletal   -composed of bone, cartilage, and ligaments -protects and supports body -framework for muscles -blood cell formation -stores minerals  
🗑
organ systems: muscular   -composed of muscle and tendons -allows manipulation, motion, and facial expressions -maintains posture -produces heat  
🗑
organ systems: nervous   -brain, spinal cord, and nerves (CNS) -fast-acting control system of the body -responds to stimuli by activating muscles and glands  
🗑
organ systems: endocrine   -pituitary gland, thyroid gland, pancreas, suprarenal glands, and gonads -directs long-term changes in bodily functions -adjusts metabolic activity and energy use by the body -controls many changes during development  
🗑
organ systems: cardiovascular   -heart, blood, and vessels -heart pumps blood -vessels disperse throughout body  
🗑
organ systems: lymphatic   -bone marrow, thymus, spleen, lymph nodes, lymphatic vessels, and tonsils -picks up fluid leaking from blood vessels and returns to blood -gets rid of waste on lymphatic stream -houses white blood cells (immunity)  
🗑
organ systems: respiratory   -nasal cavity, pharynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs -keeps blood supplies with oxygen and removes carbon dioxide  
🗑
organ systems: digestive   -oral cavity, esophagus, stomach, both intestines, rectum, anus, and liver -breaks down food into absorbable units -eliminates indigestible food as feces  
🗑
organ systems: urinary   -kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra -eliminates waste -regulates water, electrolytes, and pH balance of blood  
🗑
organ system: male reproductive   -prostate, penis, testicles, scrotum, and ductus deferens -produces offspring -testes make sperm and male sex hormones -ducts and glands deliver sperm to female reproductive tract  
🗑
organ system: female reproductive   -mammary glands, ovaries, vagina, uterine tubes and uterus -reproduction -ovary produces egg and female sex hormones -other part used for fertilization and housing developing fetus -mammary glands produce milk to nourish baby  
🗑
organ interrrelationships   basically, systems work together to preform tasks and maintain homeostasis  
🗑
what is homeostasis?   stable internal environment; a balance  
🗑
what are the two types of homeostasis?   -intrinsic regulation -extrinsic regulation  
🗑
what is intrinsic regulation?   when a cell, tissus, organ, organ system adjusts itself to Automatically respond to change  
🗑
what is extrinsic regulation?   when nervous or endocrine system must adjust activities...if auto doesn't work it kicks in to help  
🗑
what are the three regulatory mechanisms of homeostasis?   receptor, control center, and effector  
🗑
what is a receptor?   sensor that receives the stimulus  
🗑
what is a control center?   receives and processes the stimulus and sends out commands  
🗑
what is the body's control center?   the brain  
🗑
what is an effector?   cell or organ that responds to the commands of the control center and either enhances or opposes the stimulus  
🗑
what is negative feedback?   provides long term control over conditions and systems  
🗑
what is the primary mechanism of homeostatic regulation?   negative feedback  
🗑
what is an example of homeostatic regulation =?   thermoregulation  
🗑
what is the less common form of homeostatic regulation?   positive feedback  
🗑
what is positive feedback?   where the initial stimulus produces a response the exaggerates the change in original conditions rather than opposing it
